I have asked if someone knew someone but they did know each other
Fucking hilarious and on point
God damn Sergeant Myrtle is a savage!
But the people who flew and attacked during 9/11 came from Saudi Arabia and were funded by Saudi Arabia. Why didn’t we invade Saudi Arabia for what they did to us?
This is priceless! I always get that stupid question, “Did you kill anybody?” I usually try and let them know that I’m not going to answer that question but if they persist I get rude but still don’t give them the answer they’re looking for.
“I killed more lives than I saved”
Damn, brah,... you the VA?
UNDERRATED COMMENT! 😂😂
Hi damnnnn
Realest comment on here. Those mother f****s
Ohhh SHIT. I mean keepin' it real and all but GAT DAYUM! 😂
You won the internet today😂😂
Love your videos brother. The depictions are perfect. The killing someone question is classic.
You’re everywhere Marine! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love your channel! Do a video reaction
This Marine is absolutely the mentality we need in this world
@@BosleyBeats bruh fr I love it
When people say the war is over oil i tell them to stop driving their car and heating their houses and we wouldn't have to travel half way across the world to kill people for theirs. Get some funny ass looks lol
The only "I would have joined but..." line i have ever heard and respected was a buddy from work told me, "I would have joined, but I'm too big of a pussy." It was the weirdest mad respect I've ever had for someone.
I have a friend who had one of the few legitimate, I would have joined but, statements. He was planning on it, but was diagnosed with diabetes at 17.
That, or had a serious injury before hand
The one statement all vets LOVE hearing is "I would have joined, but...", always the greatest lines every time...[/sarcasm]
I don't mind it when it's kids. A kid saw me in uniform walking into my apt and conversation went like this
Kid: are you an army guy
Me: yeah
Kid: wow do you have to kill bad guys
Me: if it comes to it
Mom: sorry about my kid
Me: it's ok I was a kid at one point too
Kids are good... Adults, I don't put up with asking those questions...
kids are hilarious some times ngl
@@Gato-mr7tx Had a nephew once asked if I kill bad guys, and I said, "Only if I have to."
He nodded and said, "Cool." He was 6... I love that little guy!
Kids... np, I understand but its the "adults" I wanna well..... nothing i can say in polite company
And every male vet is wondering how the mom looks, and her dependant status lol.
I once was asked seriously if I knew "Roy from Raleigh. He joined the Army." I laughed so hard because they think that military is the size of a high school class.
So do you know roy or not 😂😂
The same thing happened to me. The people who ask those sort of questions have crab shit for brains.
Or any variation of the last name Smith, Brown, or Ramirez.
Why yes, I have met 3/4 of our MILLION MAN STANDING ARMY.
Roy from Raleigh Hills?
@@Bootinyourbutt19199 no I think roy from Raleigh crossroads
Forgot the the "I would kick the ass of any drill sgt getting in my face."
I love to hear that line all the time
I’ve heard that a lot, but they’re just talking shit
One time I heard that from a dipshit thinking he could enlist straight out of highschool and take on any drill. So I got a few of the boys from the shop together and we gave him a good old fashioned shark attack. The kid almost wet himself and we couldn't stop laughing for awhile.
I would imagine someone has beat up a drill Sargent. But, I've never been in the military.
@@markflierl1624 I imagine that is true but I guarantee that individual would get a beat down and have his life be miserable by both of his fellow trainees and every DI/DS/TI and NCO he encountered until graduation or bad chicken dinner.
"have another beer. Grab me one while your at it, bartender"
glad stabby is making friends. We were worried he would not adjust to civi-life
I'd feel so uncomfortable him sitting that close. 😂
That's to close to my comfort zone 🤔🤔...while asking those questions too
Oh for sure. If it’s the boys from the unit, there was no personal space but random ass Civilian Jackson come to hang out, I don’t know you. Stay two couch cushions away minimum.
I half expected him to say he actually knew a Dave Smith after ranting like that lol. Great video btw 👌🏽
The libertarian tupac?
@@DMando04 what?
Vet: "I can finally open up."
Me: Uh-oh... 😀
Room mate one : *chuckles * he’s in danger
I am laughing so hard right now!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Do you know my friend Dave?"
Man I felt that. I hate when people ask me that shit.
🎯🎯🎯
I've been asked that on a few occasions.
Should would happen to know a Carl
My neighbour who's a Navy Vet showed this to me last night. About laughed my lungs out.
My boss: "So what did you do in the Army?"
Me: "Infantry."
My boss: "What's that?"
Me: *explains what infantry is.
My boss: "What rank were you?"
Me: "Specialist."
My boss: "What did you specialize in?"
Me: "Infantry."
Also my boss: "The Marines are pretty much the exact same thing as Navy SEALs."
E4 Mafia...

Go forth from me and find the private resposible for trying to woo the SGM's daughter... We must let this private know that he will not disrupt our peace and tranquility... Go now...
Hahahaha
Special lips
Accurate.
So obnoxious how many times I’ve heard how they “thought about joining and almost signed the line at the recruiters office”. I’ve found that is code for them looking towards a recruiters office while driving once.
"You ever kill someone?"
*I will soon* 😶
No I killed them all
Days not over yet
Only for food
Very soon 😈
Not in the last 2 minutes
I would have joined but... I hear that bs all the time.
It is the classic statement people try using thinking it helps them relate to you or assuming you will give them credit for almost joining
i like the military, but i would only join purely if Australia was at war with a regional or powerful nation.
@Fuck Google lol shitbag
I hear that shit more often than I should. Usually I ask why they didn’t and they give some bullshit response
I would have joined but I’m a pussy.
I always used to say: "Dave Smith?....Wait, did he have short hair?....Black boots?.....Wore camo a lot?.....Yeah, I knew Dave"
I've been out for 27 years now and this conversation goes like this Every. Single. MFing. Time. And folks wonder why I live alone waaaay out in the country and only go into town twice a month.
Give in dude. I started telling people. I am like dude I am an Infantryman that is our whole fucking job description. Now they leave me alone at bbqs.
My Dad was an Army MP, my (now ex) husband was Army before becoming a LEO & my Granddad was in the Royal Highlanders as a Medic in WWI (yes, one). He died when I was two, but I still remember going to the beach with him and touching the scars all over his chest & shoulder. My other memory of him was right before he died. My Mom & Aunt snuck me up into his hospital room & I was crawling all over him. They tried to grab me, but he MADE them stop (I can still picture him in the bed with those slats thinking "why do they have him in crib like mine?" LOL). The reason that stayed in my baby brain was bc I felt just how much he loved me. It didn't traumatize me seeing his scars or him in the hospital. I ended up working with abused kids. Please understand: I am *NOT* trying to tell you what to do~ *NEVER.* Just sharing my Granddad's story (kinda mine, but MOSTLY HIS. I've studied up a lot on WWI & man, I can't believe he VOLUNTEERED *[as a Canadian, "Conscientious Objector", bc he didn't want to be Infantry, he'd heard about the mustard gas both sides were using, so that's why he was a Medic, but Canada wasn't even IN THE WAR, YET],* for the Royal Highlanders, KNOWING he'd wearing a SKIRT (!)(OK, a KILT, but for REAL?!). After my Nana died in 1982 (she was 99 years old & right after my 1st son was born), we were clearing out her things & found a stack of _LOVE LETTERS_ from *My Granddad to HER WHILE HE WAS OVERSEAS!* OMGosh... They're truly the *_MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS in the WORLD!_* For NINE MONTHS he wrote to HER... *"My Dearest Daisy... Love, Harry".* He had his shoulder blown nearly off in June, 1918 & spent four months in a hospital in France & got home to Winsor, Canada on Nov. 1st 1918. They were married on Nov. 4th, just a week before the end of the war.
I'm sorry for what you're going through. Your story matters & your experiences matter. What has been going on in our country the past few decades has not been accidental. In order to successfully take over a nation the size & scope of ours the ppl involved knew they'd have to be patient & cunning. They HAVE BEEN. But they didn't count on the resilience of ppl like you. And me. And our ability to seek one another out. We're even MORE PATIENT. And MORE TENACIOUS. And MORE CUNNING. If you're interested, maybe write some "novels", then you say they're just fiction if anyone accuses you of being too graphic, or anything. Just a thought.
God Bless You~ Thank You for Your Service!
(PS. PLEASE, if you do any writing, also include this screenname & I'll keep an eye out for it~ THANKS!)
I've gotten to the point where I don't even like talking to other vets about the military. More often than not, it becomes a dick measuring contest.
I usually lead off with, "Wanna see what happens with common household chemicals?" and then charge into their kichen to find the bleach and ammonia right next to each other under their sink...74D MFers!
Lets start this party right!!!
As long as you don't start mailing bombs to randos it's cool you do you .
I honestly actually really like it when civilians have no idea what the military is like. Obviously there's some times where I'm internally screaming but their ignorance means that what I had in the military was just that more special and something that can never be found anywhere else in the world.
Great outlook. I never really get angry at the civvies who are genuinely curious or innocently naive, either.
Hard to be truly angry at civilians. It's impossible to know what the military lifestyle is without being in it.
💯
I had that same going through my head when I came home from Basic a.k.a. "boot camp". My younger brother (& only sibling) asked me how I felt about guns because of how I felt about them before.
I wasn't expecting him to ask me that. I personally thought it was a stupid question but somehow gave him an intelligent answer that shut him up.
My kids gave me a 3 headed lego lanyard for my car keys. It represents my EX wife and two kids. When people find out I am a Marine and ask me about the lanyard, I tell them each head represents a kill from the war and that I carry this lanyard as a reminder that they died by my hands so I could live to kill again.
F****d up man
That’s hillarious , does the lanyard also look like it’s a woman and two children?
😂😂😂
That was the most hilarious, and true. I was in the Navy and literally had a woman ask me if I knew her son in the Army.....in Germany. She then askes what all my ribbons meant and I went full "I'm gonna get you sucka!" on her her. I told her my ribbons were for typing, filing, and horseshoe excellence. etc. The whole time she was nodding her head and smiling. She then asked what my "Rate Symbol" in the middle of my rank meant. Now, I was a Sonar Technician, Anti-Submarine Warfare. My symbol was a pair of headphones with a horizontal arrow running through it. This was the early 90's so I told her I worked for Morale, Welfare, and Recreation and I was a Walk-Man Technician. I supported the troops by providing free repairs to any personal radios or head-phones to help keep their spirits up in difficult situations. She just kept nodding her head and smiling and said, "Wow, that's really important!"
I was a nuclear reactor operator (ETN). I tell people I watched a machine boil water. Close enough.
'Have you ever killed anybody?' one of the two worst questions you could ask. Just not as bad as 'Is there anyone you remember or miss?'
I feel like sometimes people don't realize how stupid it is to ask someone in the military if they know some random ass person.
Like imagine if you worked at a Wal-Mart in your hometown. Let's say it's in Wichita Falls, Texas. And some guy walks up to you and says "You work at Wal-Mart? Oh that's cool. My buddy Steve works in Wal-Mart up in Cleveland. You know him?"
Like that's how stupid it is.
I don't know why but that question is one that always irritated me.
That's not even how stupid it is.. The Army has more Soldiers than Wal-Mart has employees. I'm not correcting you, I'm just reiterating your point as civilians can't even fathom how big of an organization it is.
It’s not just about the military. Anybody asking anyone who works in a huge organization if they know somebody is plain stupid.
@@taemien9219 you're absolutely right
Wichita Falls? We have 3 WalMarts
Wichita Falls...lol, I was at Shepherd AFB for 6 months ish of tech school as a maintainer...got real familiar with the Walmart there...not much else to do in the area ha. Funny thing is that I am from Cleveland...so familiar with the Walmarts here too...just thought your examples were kind of hilarious for me personally is all haha.
When he said "I can finally open up.", I went - oh no.
"Have you ever killed someone?"
"Depends. Do pregnant women count as one or two?"
Tasteless joke aside...it wouldn't "depend" either way. The answer would be yes.
Double points
If you're a Democrat, just one.
@tiffany william BRO IM FUCKEN STEALING THAT
This is very true statement - Sometimes they would strap bombs to thier own kids anyways - i have no mercy
I freaking love that guy!! “ Give me another beer, bartender! “
"I would have joined but I'm flat footed."
Me: good news I'm a recruiter and that's not a thing. Sign here 🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈
“Ive killed more lives than I saved” lmao
Any time somebody asks if I killed somebody, my response is always the same. “Well yeah but only for food. Had to make sure we didn’t go hungry!”
I say "there was this dude un the sandbox that just never stopped asking questions. It hoy me so mad so I just took my M-4 and doubletapped him.
"You might know my friend/brother/cousin?"
"I probably don't because there are 100s of thousands of us."
"His name is John Smith and he's somewhere in Kansas."
Damnit I do know that dude.
I know 2 dudes,one in the Air Force and one in the Navy.
Whenever civvies came to us,they'll ask the Airman what does he fly and the answer would be "a desk"
But when that same guy asked the sailor what does he do on a ship.He'd say he flies helicopters for a living
lmao airman don't fly lmao im so ded😂
@@cxptain3vil193 to be fair, officers have been pushing to let enlisted fly drones for years, can't remember if they actually changed the regs. Makes sense, really: no pilot wants to be stuck in UAVs lol.
@@sporkwitch yeah its interesting how pilots make up less than like 20% of the Air Force
@@cxptain3vil193 4% of the air force works directly on aircraft, and that includes ground crew. At least that's the number I was told when I was in the USAF (2007-2013). I was radio and satcom maintenance; closest I came to planes was riding one to get where I'm going and some of my radios could talk to planes lol
@@sporkwitch ah i see thats pretty cool, im in high school tryna go to USAFA or ROTC and after i want to go to pilot training.
Growing up you always hear, “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.”
That’s not the case when asking things to a vet.
I've actually grown to enjoy it when someone asks: "Oh, you were in the Army? Did you have to kill anyone?" I just like to ponder a moment and say "Have to?........ Well, not really."
Stealing that now that 2020 has turned me into a troll.
Just like airforce.... oh were you a pilot? What plane? I'm like... uh... there's more to it..
Hilarious.
I like to respond to that annoying question with “I’m not authorized to answer that question.” If they continue to pry and try to get me to answer I say “sorry. I can’t. It’s classified.” Lmao.
This is good stuff
Chief I broke my foot, I don't care you run that pt test. OK Chief. LOL I Passed. Three weeks later Medical calls and says we have an appt for you to check out your broken foot. I laughed and asked what they were going to do four weeks after I broke it. They said if it's not healed properly we will break it again and reset it. I said good bye LOL
He said; "Chop, Chop, Bartender." I'm still teared up from laughing so hard.
🤣😂🤣! TRUEST THING IN RHE WORLD. The “Killing someone question” drives me NUTS. And the Democrat vs Republican debate is MIND BOGGLING.
You ever kill someone? *"I'm* *about* *to."*
My toe actually itched. Thanks
This is absolutely true, besides the inside voice thing, I mean it took me years to not talk to civies like military personnel.. but this is a accurate depiction. Where's the throat punch at the end?
I still break out the 'voice' sometimes when dudes at work fuck up....
Ah the throat punch... Good times
My guy turned into Clint Eastwood at the end there
“THESE MOTHERFUCKERS DON’T HAVE BANDAIDS!” had me dying😂
This is so accurate especially the hero part 🥺😂😂
Only thing missing was. "I'd join the military but if any of those drill sergeants yelled in my face I'd knock him out."
I wonder how many chapter 11s used this as a bitch out... Meanwhile, they tied a noose out of they boot lace and tried to "hang" themselves from the coat rack in the latrine or tried to OD on ranger candy. Pisses me off. Failure to adapt fucks.
That. Fucking. Question. Like they literally can’t help themselves.... 🤨
I remember I was at the mall and I overheard a conversation between a civilian and a veteran, the civilian asked "how many people have you killed?" And I'll never forget what the vet said. He looked him dead in the eye and said "23, and if you ask another question it'll be 24." God I started laughing so hard!
You were supply, weren't you. That was hilarious.
At 13 I made the mistake of asking my ex-Marine football coach if he ever killed anyone on deployment...this video reminded me of that regretful question.
What happened after that?
I'd also like to know what happened
I would like to know as well
"Chop chop, bar tender". perfect ending lol
"Did you ever kill anyone?"
"Yes but only when we were hungry and we used every pieces of the enemy so none of it went to waste."
😅
It always creeps me out hearing civilians try to quiz military guys about their service. It's almost as bad as stolen valor. Or those guys that did two years in peace time and wanna act like they're entitled to the same respect as someone that sacrificed everything. And like you guys touched on, the glorification of the killing like there is no spiritual or emotional repercussions
My brothers dip shit buddy asked if I killed someone I looked him straight in the eyes and said "unfortunately I have not" lol his face was priceless.
The "I wanted to enlist but..." is the one I hear most often. My usual response is to ask how old they are and then what the disqual was, because yep, pretty much anything can be waived, just might not get the job or branch you wanted.
.......but my mom wouldn't sign for me." um.... you're 26 now, sooooo mom doesn't need to sign for you anymore. . [ walks away]
Yeah which annoys me as well. My roommate tried to enlist in the army, but the recruiter said his chances were slim with his fused vertebrae and hunchback. He is the only one I know who has an excuse. The rest of my friends and coworkers don't get that excuse
They can waive a bunch of things. When I went from active Army to NG, I had to go through meps again and I failed the hearing test, no surprise. It took like 20 minutes to get a doctor's waiver.
I wanted to enlist but there's no respect for soldiers, it's all face-saving bs. How's that?
I wanted to enlist, but I'm half-blind and Def I destroyed my knee. Felt like a disgrace for years.
I don't think I've ever wanted to punch someone so hard in my life. You guys nailed this video. 😎👍
Cant wait to ask my uncle these questions
Future generations be like damn I heard 2020 was wild.
2020 survivors: "huge loooooooggggg shit"
What? No bloopers? Of course after the "did you kill anyone" question, I can understand you might not want to release anything that may have to be testified in court under oath.
Thank God there are veteran TH-camrs.
The videos are funny but I think you guys do a service to the public and are probably helping civilians relate better with vets. Thanks for all the laughs.
so this is a spinoff of "vetertan inner monolog".......
This is so true. Love these guys!
Damn if someone asks if I was in the military I say "haha nah"
They ask if I've killed anyone and I just start laughing and then after a brief moment of silence I say "no"
Never get asked questions after that
lol i love that
Funny story about the "Do you know this person" part. Was a Navy submariner 4 1/2 years. Got out on medical. Moved back to Orlando, my home town. Was at the store buying some equipment for a new job and ran had a random woman start talking to me at the checkout counter. Got around to talking about the Navy, and she asks "Do you know EM2 James (not actual name) on the USS Scranton?" Why, yes, actually, we used to chill in the smoke pit when I was taking a break from fixing his sub. Turns out, I was talking to his mom. Talk about a 1 in a million.
I’ve gotten every one of those questions and dumber
"Thank you for your service."
"Yeah, you're welcome for those greased bolts on a ship you'll never even see, for all that FOD picked up off the flight deck of a carrier that's now rusting in Washington, and for all those pushups I did in basic."
I mean, smile, nod, thanks.
Seriously when talking to a veteran careful what you ask for!
Civilian here. I grew up with the military all around me, and for the most part. I treat servicemen exactly the same as everyone else. I have a hobby where most of my collegues are servicemen as well, and when they talk about work my input is basically work related things, or I stay more quiet and let them do their thing rather than trying to relate in any way or trying to ask questions that dont need to be answered. I guess my question to you all is when presented with a situation where everyone is talking about it around you, what is the correct course of action? Im not the best social guy in a regular setting, but i dont want to be a fucking idiot either. Thanks!
Shut up and listen. You might learn something.
I'm a vet, but I served during peace time. I just listen and let the guys talk if they're discussing something I haven't experienced.
this is the most accurate video ive ever seen.
Holy Hell I'm answering the killing question just like this EVERY TIME! MUHAHAHAHA!

Bro they facts that drew did the swimming thing is funny as fuck
*** The " I was gonna join, but... " Classic. :)
You stab that guy in the head. Good thing your blood groove was sharp! It's past 12:30 I guess can get on to my 7th beer. I wake up early.
The most impressive thing is the controller is actually on

Yo un know it’s a good day when the combat veteran uploads
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE ARE PERFECT!
Damn i wanted to see the blooper reel for this one! Haha i bet it was classic!
Same!
I fucken hate when someone ask have you killed someone. " chop chop bartender".
My goodness Dave Smith! Lol Civilians totally do that. I had that question many 20 times.
To all the veterans. Stay safe and solider on.
Man the Death rattle is like a chime that will never sound sad but Sweet because you cant hear your own.
I absolutely love the background reactions 😂 😆
Veterans inner monologue
Chop chop bartender! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I doubt anyone who hasn't served would ever really understand your ways. You might not like hearing it from civs but you are heroes to us (at least the grateful ones). You're pretty much 21st century demigods that get to use sci-fi equipment and see places that your average joe doesn't.
4/10 non military friend wasn’t dressed like Jesse Pinkman
that’s fair
I just ETS’d and ran into the I would of joined person. He said he has flat feet.
I'm a POG.
If someone asks me if I've killed
I will say "oh yeah all the time. I killed someone yesterday."
Grab me a beer, bartender.
classic civilians asking dumb questions. Have you ever killed somebody or the I almost joined stories. People don't believe I did 24 years because my TH-cam channel is always music. As if we don't have personal lives, dreams, or ambitions outside of the military. What I hate is when civilians think the military is like the movies. LOL
02
Dude gagging the the background...hahaha!
I can relate to those people who ask stupid questions like that. It is the most annoying thing anyone could do. However this video is good at showing the humor of it. Lol.
Guy questions are cringe af. Video 100% accurate
As a vet these are hilarious and hit home!
Literally every time I visit my hometown...
Oh that's nothing. I worked with a dude that had pictures of his kills on his laptop.
One day he was like, "Hey, you wanna see what a .50 cal will do to a human skull?"
Sounds like one of my instructors back in the day. Dude had four or five combat tours and a fruit salad for a stack, including some Vs. Dude might as well have been a god to us privates. In hindsight, definitely a psychopath.
Might be a psycho, but he's *our* psycho.
@@orion8981 I had one of those. He was fucking crazy, or a really good actor. I think he was doing coke... Ton of fun but when he was in a bad mood those were the worst days of my life. One time he picked me up, in full kit, and slammed me against the wall and told me his favorite part about throwing a grenade in a RANDOM HOUSE. Blood. His favorite part was the blood and immediate silence that follows. Collier if you're out there get some help dude you're a parent.
